Willowbrook, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/05/2007 -- Chances are, at one time or another you've been called upon to organize a group outing. Maybe it was for your church or civic group, a family reunion or perhaps even a girlfriend getaway or mancation.

And if you're like most people, you probably visited the "big three" travel sites and were sorely disappointed that they don't cater to group bookings. What to do?

Fortunately, one firm has stepped up to fill a huge void in the $47 billion leisure group travel industry. Group Travel Directory (a Premier Tourism Marketing company), makes booking a group trip easy from start to finish.

Take for example Group Travel Directory's group hotel booking engine. With this tool at your disposal, locating a great hotel for your next group tour or event doesn't have to be a grind. Thanks to the advanced technology of the Group Travel Directory Booking engine and 10,000 participating properties worldwide, finding great hotel rates is now as easy as 1-2-3.

1) Post your request on http://grouptravel.hotelplanner.com, their secure website including expected dates of travel, destination, and number of rooms required.
2) Your request is transmitted electronically to qualified group-friendly hotel and resort properties that meet your criteria.
3) Hotels respond back electronically with their rates and availability. You monitor requests online and select the property that meets your needs and fits your budget.

It's an entirely seamless process. No more calling dozens of hotels, shopping for deals. No more fending off overly-aggressive sales people. No more wondering if you're getting the best rate for your group trip.

Group Travel Directory also features a group-friendly supplier directory with more than 5,000 participating companies, and a bus chartering service.
